The Glorious Fourth!

The Glorious Fourth
The Fourth of July that was cele
brated in Salt Lake on Monday last was
one of veritable glory; glorious in its
crowds, glorious in its procession, glor
ious in its noise of cannon, of rockets,
of fire crackers and bombs. glorious in
its s@eeches ofIoyalty, and last but not
least, glorious in the unity and har-
mony evident among the hitherto jar
ring classes of the community.
Not since the famous oath Of July of
1880 has there been any such spectacle
of noise, crowds. enthusiasm. and
wealth OF preparation as was evinced
throughout all the day of the Fourth
The CHATTER of the day can hardly be
said to have had any commencement
it reigned all the night before and in
many sections of town sleep was i'm
possible. The roar began in earnest at
day break, when salute of cannon
Numbered through the streets, and from
that time until midnight OF the Fourth
there was no time when either the
sounds of music, the boom of explo
sives or the swish and rattle of fire
| works did not fill the air.
The sight on the streets from 7
O'Clock In the morning till the process
sion had made its way to the Park was
a most lively and inspiriting one. Thou
sands of people crowded all the side
walks, and hundreds of vehicles of
every character thronged the streets
along the line of the procession; the
gaily decorated cars and vehicles as
they drove to find their places IN the
line were gazsd upon with the lIveliest
interest. and in some instances by
hearty applause.
8 The Marshal of the Day, Col. Page,
aided by some thirty or forty assistants,
chosen from prominent young Nor
mons and Genties alike, ali OF them
mounted and distinguished by their ro-
settles and white gloves, got the line
started close upon the hour, which,
considering its length, was no small
achievement The crowd of Qulookers
was SO dense that the counter march on
Main Street WAS abandoned, and the
start was made from Third
South and north up Main,
thence west to First West, thence
north to South Temple, thence east to
Main. and SO on over the advertised
line, bringing up about noon in the vast
shades of Liberty Park.
The procession was packed close to-
gether and went at good gait; it took
just half an hour at this rate to pass a
given point, By actual count there
were over 700 people who took part.
